Today, imperial spectators are supposed to support Al-Qaeda 3.0 invading Syria, and oppose Hamas defending Palestine. They’re supposed to mourn a genocide from last century and commit one right now. They’re supposed to oppose invasions in general, unless it’s under NATO generals, in which case it’s good somehow. They’re supposed to be defending democracy in places without elections (like Ukraine), and overturning elections in places that have them (Romania, Pakistan, Peru, France, etc). Does any of this make sense? Is it even internally consistent? Western propaganda, along with western empire, is falling apart. They’re forcing it, and the cover-up is a farce.

The daily question you, as an honestly horrified spectator, must be asking is how do they get away with it? Whatever’s said and done, America seems to be getting away with genocide, getting away with invasions, and whenever they crash and burn in one country, they just crash and burn another one. However, in the long historical view what we’re witnessing is not just business as usual (they’ve gotten away with worse before). What we’re witnessing is a going out of business sale. They seem to get away with everything only in the sense that everything must go.

It’s important to understand that everything America is incinerating is the base of its own power…
